A member asked:
Could anything happen when you have bone cancer and a bone breaks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A lot happens: For once, there is pain, often severe. It may also lead to immobility and increase the risk of clots. Potentially could lead to death. Patients with metastatic cancer to the bone are often treated with drugs or preventative radiation to diminish the risk of fractures.
